@dpzollinger.bsky.social and I are thrilled "Cleavage Politics in Western Democracies" is out as an SI at @wepsocial.bsky.social!

Its papers explore the foundations of the cleavage pitting new left against radical right parties, and how it compares to the classic cleavages of Lipset & Rokkan:

❗Among their electoral potential, social democratic parties face very few strategic dilemmas. Left-progressive appeals resonate most strongly.

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials

Do we systematically prefer educated candidates? Or do educational groups select in ways that reward their own?

This article by @turnbulldugarte.com and I suggests the answers are yes, and yes - but only for the graduate group.

Huge thanks to all who shared their data with us!

New publication out! This one took years of data collection, but it clearly illustrates how Sweden's high-quality state bureaucracy is the result of centuries of gradual power struggles and strategic investments in education—a process I term administrative democratization.
Need a break from the US election? This new Research Note by danielcarelli.bsky.social introduces “administrative democratization” in the context of Swedish state-building. Discover how competence can trump aristocracy! www.ingentaconnect.com/content/cuny...
